Freedom on the Horizon

Nastassia Parker, a historical re-enactor, will portray Oney Judge who was born in 1773 on George Washington’s plantation, Mount Vernon. Upon hearing that she would be sold to Mrs. Washington’s granddaughter as a wedding gift, Judge ran away. Come to Historic London Town and Gardens and listen to her story, documented by several 19th century abolitionist newspapers. Learn about the trials and tribulations she encountered while traveling on the path to freedom and independence. A question and answer session will follow the program.

This program is included with admission at the Visitor's Center and registration is required (https://bit.ly/3Za2mBG). Thanks to Chesapeake Crossroads for their support of this program!
